I dont understand tires!
So we had a blow out of Constancy tires on 26 in SC. Lots of damage to include a hole in the floor of one of the slides. Insurance is working on that. I will replace all 4 tires but I read about Go...

I will replace all 4 tires but I read about Goodyear Endurance ST and LT tires as well as Sailun s637. I do not know the difference in ST or LT? Or the Goodyear or Sailun?
You have a lot of potential cargo capacity for a couple of 6000# axles. I suspect you have the standard ST235/80R16E tires and may have pushed their limit with an overloaded axle. Sorry, just guessing. Find some scales and prove me wrong.
You’re not going to find a true Light Truck (LT) with the load capacity necessary for replacing those original tires. Your best option is to use the same sized tire and go up a couple of load ranges to load range G. You’ll most likely have to change wheels but the all steel cased LRG in that size is an outstanding trade-off and you won’t have to use the full 110 PSI inflation pressures. Somewhere around 95 PSI will provide more than the necessary load capacity you need from the replacement tires.
